Marianne gazcd in surprise at her

arm and cried, cXcitcdly: "You arc

As the study door closed behind tho

"Why does he not bring his wife with

"Because he has mono, Papillon."
"Havc you not told me that he is

over her shoulder, and still going on
18th her work.

with like surroundings. He now longs

"Fwclve years younger than l."
Why did the Russian doctor feel 10th
to describe Hilmar as he really was?
He recalled the beautiful dark eyes,
with their glance now melancholy now
radiant-thc finely cut mouth with its
dazzling teeth, the delicatcly archctl
nose, the tall, elastic figure, the head
proudly borne with its dark, wavy
hair.
"Ussikow is very musical aud draws
and paints charmingly," he said. "His
voice is II sympathetic baritone. l
think he will not scorn to play upon
our modest piano."
80, if he is musician | shall be de-
|. lighted with hm!" cried Papillon,
gayly. But Marianne said:
GLOW can a man become absorbed in
such useless things. 70 hear music for

"Lct us wait and sec how Uilmar
himself divides the hours. lie is too

mode us in the least. We will give him

terrace. l hope he may sleep well in
that retired alcovc."
The next day found Marianne alb
| sorbrd i'll preparations for the coming
! guest, i'll all of which Dcsirec was her
ardent helper. The lessons were natu-
rally somewhat neglected.
One evening the doctor came home
later than usual from his walk. The
lamp was already lighted in the draw
lng-room; the door 10 the terrace stood
open. lie paused upon the threshold
to hear mans voice say:
II will cnticc him here with an old
Russian folks song he used to love. II
ever so deep in study it w-ass sure
to bring him. | will see if it still has

| A tall, slender figure seated itsrfr n,'-

baritone sang in Russian the song OF
the "Thrcc Spum.'

past her. Where was Papllon? She
sat drawn up upon the sofa in the win
dow recess, her head bent forward,
! %nd listened intent, almost bl1.athlcss.
In n" WIdc-oprn eyes, the naive aston

necessary for the Democrats to do some.

be willing TO remove the tax on tobacco,
because that would benefit the producers,
but he could not COunt"nance the repeal Of
the tax on whisky. There were too MANY
nCccSsarics taxed to think of taking the tax
from whisky. While he had no means Of
knowing just what the prOtcctionist ele-

n;.d heard and read that it would insist
upon The repeal Of the entire internal tax.

MOTHER is RESTING.

Tho long, rough road Is ended
Her weary feet lmve pressed: '..
How rough TO her weak footsteps
Perhaps we never guessed:
But with tho weary Journey
She'll be no moro distressed;
Tho face we bend and softly kiss
Bears no impress but that Of bliss.
we know that many pages
Within tho book of years
She las pursued with anguish
Amid her falling tears;
That partings, change and doubling
Have caused her many fears.
Forg Dtten now each pang of woe,
No grief again her soul will know.
We gaze at her dear features,
Within the caslict bound,
And think that she is dwelling
Where changclcss peace is found;
That there no painful partings
Her loving heart will wound
And weeping for her, 'loved and gonc,"
We gather strength to walk alone.
Along the way before us,
Whittier, we do not know,
1t may be Strcwn with blessings,
And pleasures VIC may know,
Or, thCkly set with dangers,
May bring us naught but woe;
Yet, DER lifeS pathway, she has come
At last unto her heavenly home.

The Democrats of Portsmouth and
Norfolk county will hold meetings
next week to select delegates TO the
State Convention at Roanoke, and this
city will follow later. Princess Anne
will also select delegates next week.
Notwithstanding the singular course
pursued by the Administration in re-
tanning Republicans in prominent Of
fees here, there is very little disaffec-
ton in the Democratic ranks in this
section, and when the campaign opens
they will all be found shoulder to
shoulder in the contest with the COM
mon enemy. In Norfolk county the
work of organization among the Re-
publicans is proceeding actively under
special instructions from General Ma
hone. A great many white Republi-
cans flew the track at the last election,
and special efforts are being made to
restore them to the fold again.
There were eighty-one deaths in
Norfolk during the month of June

was nearly one fourth larger than that

The Methodist District Conference
at Smithfeld have adopted resolution
declaring that the ancient and honora-
BILE usage of Methodism of inviting
penitents to the altar of the church for
prayer and instruction, that they may
experience a pardon of their sins and
make public profession of their con-
version, is the best method of conduct
ing revival meetings.
Perkins chapel, in Currituck county,

the next annual meeting of the Metho-
